days out in Wicklow
Days out in Wicklow is a list of recommended things to do in Wicklow. Wicklow is known as the ‘Garden of Ireland‘ and it’s within 1 hour drive from Dublin city centre. Glendalough is a key tourist hot spot and the interior of the county encompasses the sprawling Wicklow Mountains National Park with mountains, forested areas, heather landscapes and rivers.
If you’re planning on visiting Wicklow, one of our favourite places to stay is Druids Glen Hotel, a stunning hotel and golf course located in Newtownmountkennedy Wicklow. Families will love the pool & leisure centre and the hotel cuisine is absolutely first class.
Another great choice is the Arklow Bay Hotel, set in idyllic grounds and overlooking a lakeside wildlife reserve, this hotel offers lots to do for families and also includes a beautiful pool and leisure centre.
Wicklow is an outdoor paradise. This writer has actually hiked there over several years and it’s postcard stuff. Glacial valleys and breath taking scenery are on offer and names like the Sally Gap, Blessington Lakes and Powerscourt Estate are well known attractions.
